Fire Marshal Training Course

This is a more in-depth course than the fire warden training and it is aimed at people who are going to be managing staff in their role as a fire safety person (fire warden) in the workplace.

This course also covers the 3 hour Fire Warden course syllabus. This can be delivered in the first 3 hours of the course.  You can have some people just attend the first 3 hours to be a Fire Warden and have others stay for the full day to be a Fire Marshal.

Learners will come away with a good understanding of managing fire risks and threats and be able to apply this knowledge to their specific workplace and the fire safety staff they are managing.
